king of Pittsburg, is sensible man. Ii 1 having been extensively announced that he is about to build castle in Pennsylvania, he writes to say that it is no such thing. Moth ing, he says, could be more out of place in this republic, and in this age, than the feu- dal castle of barbarous times. Castles have
 had their day. Even in Scotland it is with
 great difficulty that occupants are found for
 these wretched, gloomy, uncomfortable semi prisons. The 'castle" that Mir. Carnegie proposes to build will be modest stone house, at moderate cost, and it's appoint ments will be in accordance with his ideas of republican simplicity.
 It was thought necessary at meeting of the St. Louis Evangelical association to pass 8 resolution saying that since the recent res- olution of the Alliance condemning the bal let had seemed to imply an approval of the opera, and thus tended to the disparagement of the character of the Christian ministry and Christianity itself, therefore the Alliance heartily disapproved of all theatrical plays and performances whatsoever as worldly and carnal advertisements, unbecoming the Christian character and conversation; that they disapproved of the opera because the art of music was invariably more or less combined in it with carnal and worldly dis plays, and that they warned the members of their churches not to frequent the opera in any place, or any other theatrical display apt to make people carnal, sensual and crim- inal. There was an earnest debate on the resolutions. which were passed by vote of thirteen to nine.
 Mr. C. N Fay of Chicago, president of the National Telephone Exchange association, makes out good case for the "monopolists" when he says: The capital stock of the American Bell Telephone company is S10,- 900, ,0o0, now selling in the market for $19,- 000,0 The stockholders have actually paid in $6. .00O, ,000 and therefore the profit to date is $13, 100000 The license companies throughout the country are capitalized at about $54, ,00O, ,000, selling ill the market at not to exceed $24, 100000, an amount below the actual money paid therefor and below the actual cost of the plant and business. Individuals have made money in the manipu- lation of telephone stocks, but the broad fact remains that the entire amount of profit wrung from the suffering people during ten years of hard work has added to their in- vestments of $3O, ,000, ,O00 of capital, say five per cent. per annum. On the basis of the last census this would be three cents per an- mum extorted from each of the suffering peo pie aforesaid

Why Sc Many American Singers Fail
 to Pronounce Distinctly.
 From the New York Herald.l
 The singers looked well and acted we'll, but not 8 word that they uttered was intelligible
 The programme was printed in English and the composers had spoken English in their day, but to the unadvised listener the medium through which the 'fartists" were striving to interpret the composers thoughts might have been cuneiform, sstea box" or that of the society woman's afternoon re- ception.
 Why is it that so large proportion of American singers fail to pronounce their words distinctlya
 Let the 'professor" answer. "Beeause they study singing in Italian. Hundreds of people in England and America, who are studying by what are known the Italian, French and German methods, expect to make their living by singing in English.
 II refer to the want of definite and suff- cient study of the vowel forms and oonso- nantal sounds of the English language" 1" adds the professor as he entwines his sinewy legs about each other; ito articulation, pro- nunciation, etc. Every singer should study the Italian language in song, but he should first master his mother tongue. The Eng fish language in song is becoming more pop ular every day, and when mastered is as easy and beautiful as any other"
 "Why is the English language more diff cult of mastery in singing2'' ssrhe English language is more difficult to master than the Italian, for the reason that the natural or physical formation of the Italian language constantly aids and forms the singing voice. The constant study of Italian will not make easy the correct use of | the English, but makes it more difficult, as | it has tendency to broaden all vocal forma- l tion, and thus renders the correct formation of the close English sounds physically i'm l possible to those who do not understand l them, which is the case with all who study Italian only.
 "The- abnormal condition in which the adult voice is usually found is due to misuse or abuse, to power misapplied. A Eigh) system then must be corrective study, l When you see singer get red in the face 1 and the veins in his neck seem ready te burst, you can rest assured that it is the re suit of power misapplied. All that worh should be borne by the muscles of his body If it were the custom to sing without word. I we might have many beautiful singers r THE PERCENTAGE or SUCCESS.

 Unpleasant as the establishment of such a "precedent" as the granting of MT. Andrews claim would be, there is justice in the claim.
 Dr. Aveling, the Socialist, is quite dis gusted with this country. The Socialists of this country are dissatisfied with his greed, and there doesn't seem to be anybody who will feel Dr. Ayeling's contempt much.
 It is said that General Logan was the one conspicuous man in public life who never sional dire ctory, where brief biographies of members of Congress are to be found, no mention was made of his age. Perhaps he didn't know when he was born.
 This is not called heroic age, hut elo- quence is still powerful. Henry w. Grady, who made notable speech at the New Eng land dinner the other evening. can go to the United States Senate If he wants to. The Georgians are enthusiastic over his speech, and he is the biggest man in Georgia to- day.
 There is one clause of Senator Blair's bill to amend the pension laws which will have general approval It is the clause which provides that hereafter no applicant for g pension shall be required to prove his physi- cal soundness at the date of enlistment Certainly it is fair to presume that man who was accepted for active military sarviee was in good health at the time he was ao cepted. And even were the contrary true, il would add to his merit.
